A good job I generate the HTML programmatically :-) This works, but having to style every button surely defeats the whole idea of CSS (or perhaps that is the idea).

Each button/image anchor element will need its own z-index, starting with the upper left. That one should be the highest. Each of the following anchors (in source order) should have a lower z-index in order to display the way you desire. As you discovered, z-index on the span did nothing for IE, the property must be applied to the anchor elements. Adding the z-index in the HTML may actually be the easiest way to go. hth, ~holly ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
